These jobs are common in construction, shipbuilding, and industrial projects where skilled welders are needed for specific durations. Per diem compensation helps attract qualified workers to job sites that may be in different cities or states. The work often requires certifications and adherence to safety standards.

What does a structural welder per diem do?

A per diem job either offers a day rate of pay or offers a daily allowance for living expenses on top of a salary or hourly pay. A per diem structural welder usually travels to work on a project, sometimes as a fill-in for other on structures for an extended period.
